For years, AI has been the assistant that talks. Now, it wants to be the assistant that does. In a major leap beyond chat-based AI tools, Perplexity AI has introduced Perplexity Computer, a unified AI system designed to research, plan, code, deploy, and manage real-world workflows from start to finish.
Imagine fixing a meeting time by simply CC’ing an AI into your email thread… No booking links. No “Are you free by 2?” No back-and-forth that somehow turns into a 3-day scheduling saga.
For years, working online has followed the same exhausting ritual: Open a tab → Search for something → Open another tab → Copy information → Paste it somewhere else → Summarise it manually → Switch tools → Repeat Now imagine if your browser didn’t just show you information but could actually complete the task for you.
For decades, buying fuel has followed the same routine across Nigeria — drive in, wait your turn, speak to an attendant, make a transfer (or bring out cash), and hope there’s no delay or mix-up before you leave. Now, that routine may be on its way out.
A new report by the African Development Bank is now placing Africa at the centre of the global AI growth conversation, not as a consumer of technology, but as a future builder of it. And the numbers? They’re massive. According to the Bank’s latest study developed under the G20 Digital Transformation Working Group, Africa could unlock up to $1 trillion in additional GDP by 2035 through inclusive AI adoption.
When most people think about AI in big companies, they picture chatbots drafting emails, summarising meetings, or answering internal questions. That’s not where PepsiCo is placing its bets. Instead, the global food and beverage giant is quietly using AI in one of the hardest places possible: its factories.
AI learned how to sit in our Zoom meetings years ago. Tools like Fireflies, Fathom, Read AI, and Granola quietly joined calls, listened in, and sent summaries before we even closed our laptops. But something interesting is happening in 2026. Meetings are escaping the screen.
A quiet race is happening around the world, and it’s not about oil, gold, or even crypto. It’s about who adopts AI fastest and the latest numbers are eye-opening. According to recent global AI adoption data circulating online, countries like the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Norway, and Ireland are leading the charge, with over 40–60% of their working population already using generative AI tools monthly. These aren’t future plans. This is happening now.
